Name: Klyalson Gyerbert
Description: 40 years old. A short man with a really awful beard, and a furtive expression. Thin, but has strong legs for running away. Always ready for the next big thing, and always ready for anyone suddenly swooping in an demand their money back submit baseless complaints. If any of his ventures fail, it is due to outside Acts Of God, and not at all due to his own shortcomings. His clothes are rather drab and grey because it is easier to run away this way he is a man of the people.
Skills: The builder won't feed themselves until we have farms set up! Someone needs to supply them delicious food, at a low, affordable price.
Culture/Homeland: From the southern shores the league, in the dogedom of Klorty. Klorty is mainly known for being a breadbasket of fish, and pasta that stays technically edible for a long time. Their exports also include precious teal marble, and strange bones which might be the renmants of sea dragons. The national instrument is the Mournful Flute, known for its deep sound, but the Sailor's Bagpipe is also popular nowadays, as it is said that it wards of sea monsters. Costumed festivals are also very popular, to announce the coming of winter. Everyone wears grey, black and white costumes. The Sea Doge rules the country, elected from the most prominent sea captains, and rules for ten years, before retiring. There is magic in the sea, and there are research ships anchoring above big magical hot spots, trying to somehow extract magic from the seabed.
History: Gyerbert, a way too ambitious person, in an attempt to try and one up his brother's business, bought a fish shop. He bought the finest fish from the shipwrights, and dyed them in bright colours, selling them as luxurious fish. When that failed due people realizing the dye was more expensive than the fish, he changed his business selling copper, thinking he got a good deal over his supplier (he didn't, the copper was low quality). He also tried out this "extract magic from the ocean" business, but all he got was mud. Then he tried his hand at offering trips to Magical Paradise Islands, but sadly the sets and costumes were too shabby, so most people refused to pay. With such sadness, he turned to his last resort: sell noodles based on his mother's noodle recipe. It was cheap. It was average. But... it was a hit. For the first time, he was getting profit, AND respect! Clearly he should have settled in. But no. He planned to upscale his operations... and feed the rebuilding...
Reason for joining the Resettlement: A new opportunity for an unjustly maligned, recently redeemed legitimate businessman!
